Jman Stan Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Hey guys, I went to a local Guitar Shop and bought a Steinberg UR 22 Mk II Audio Interface so that I could record my electric guitar with that and not the supposedly much less reliable USB guitar cable. So, it looks like the device is recognized and the drivers installed on their own. I still don't hear any audio, though, even with input monitoring enabled. I have the device in the Left channel on the Line In/Out tab. What gives? Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) The driver should not install on it’s own. That’s a generic driver. Go to your products support page and download the drivers from there. Then make Sure to follow the instructions once installed check in windows sound and make sure it is now the default device. You can click on the speaker icon in the lower right screen. Then open Cakewalk and preferences Audio and choose ASIO mode Then go to devices tab and make sure all the Stienberg boxes are checked and apply. Check the master buss is output to the jacks your speakers / monitor system are plugged into. Edited May 29, 2021 by John Vere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can ee my interface but cannot select it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Could you post a screenshot of these 4 things. 1. Preferences /Audio/Devices 2. Preferences/Audio/ Driver settings 3. Preferences/Audio/ Playback and Recording 4. Preferences/Audio/ Sync and Caching If your not sure how to post screens shots. Use the Windows key and the PrtScn key and this will save the screenshot to your Pictures folderin a folder marked screenshots. Just drag and drop them to the Drag files here at the bottom, it will turn blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scook Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 You should not have ASIO4All installed on a machine that also has a manufacturer supplied ASIO driver. It can conflict with the manufacturer supplied ASIO driver. Uninstall ASIO4All. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can conflict with the manufacturer supplied ASIO driver. Uninstall ASIO4All. I uninstalled ASIO4All. Absolutely no change whatseover. In fact, I am now receiving a message saying something like 'a silent bus is in use' and it says the Master bus is silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 If ASIO4All is gone, it should be possible to select the Yamaha ASIO driver in Preferences > Audio > Devices as long as Preferences > Audio > Playback and Recording "Driver Mode" is set to ASIO.

Yeah I have it selected. It won't apply; I get the 'silent buses detected' message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Reboot Start up CbB Verify the preferences are setup as described. Verify the Master bus is pointing to the correct hardware output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Stan Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Update: I got the 'silent buses detected' message to go away after rebooting the program, and I am now able to put the Steinberg in the Master. I have it active in the Left channel and I can see the meters moving. I don't know why, but still no audio. Getting to be a real bummer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 If you are trying to monitor the input from the DAW, make sure the input echo button is enabled on the track. It is the button to the right of record. At this point, you may benefit from some basic videos on how to use the software. Take a look at the Tutorials section on this forum and search Youtube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, input monitoring is already enabled. Forgot to mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Stan Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 To reiterate, I had input monitoring enabled already, and it is still not working. The software is failing to produce any audio, even though everything else appears to be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gswitz Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) What kind of audio input? Some mics require phantom power. I would probably start by playing a YouTube vid. Can you hear it in your headphones? Next play cakewalk with metronome on. This should get a meter bouncing on the metronome and master bus. Can you hear it? Next, check the input. Is it a mic that requires phantom power? Can you enable phantom power? Click the record button as well as the input echo. Any meters bouncing? For just the guitar, make sure the guitar volume is up. Phantom power not required. Edited May 30, 2021 by Gswitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) So do all the boxes in the Preferences dialogs now show as your Steinberg asio interface including the the Record Latency adjustment? Are you using ASIO driver mode. When you click on the Windows Speaker icon in the systems tray does it say Steinberg? The front of your interface as in the picture below you should have the MIX control in the center and plug some headphones in to check. Do not use input echo or you will hear a delayed signal. Always use your interfaces direct monitoring system via the MIX control to avoid hearing your systems Round trip latency when recording audio tracks. You will use input echo when recording VST instruments only. Make sure the Output of your Master bus is set to the Steinberg 1/2 output. Your monitors must be plugged into the 1/2 output jacks of your interface. You cannot use on board audio for playback in ASIO mode. If all you have is computer speakers you will have to plug them into the headphone jack of the interface with an adaptor. You almost there just a few more steps and you'll be up and running smoothly. The Steinberg is a very good interface with good ASIO drivers. You did download the latest didn't you? Make sure to get the Windows version. Their driver page is kind of weird to get at, took me through 4 pages first. https://www.steinberg.net/en/support/downloads_hardware/yamaha_steinberg_usb_driver.html Defiantly watch the tutorials. In my signature is a link to my collection. Edited May 30, 2021 by John Vere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 'Record Latency Adjustment,' are you talking about the 'Record Timing Master' in Driver Settings? That looks like it's as it should be.

John Vere Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Yes I was referring to that setting. You basically want all settings to show as your audio interface and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) This is such BS. The stupid thing should be direct monitoring. You shouldn't need the input monitoring. Plus if you have any latency at all it will become painfully apparent using input monitoring. edit: The interface simply doesn't have the power for the headphones. It's ridiculous to have to run a head phone amplifier in this situation. Edited March 2, 2022 by Wayne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
